Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 19, 2024

<p>Wall Street inched marginally higher during Wednesday morning trading in New York, with traders remaining on edge ahead of the eagerly anticipated <strong>Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. ET</strong>, followed by Fed Chair <strong>Jerome Powell</strong>&#8216;s press conference <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42554114/all-eyes-on-december-fed-meeting-as-traders-await-interest-rate-projections">at 2:30 p.m. ET.</a></p>
<p>The Fed is widely expected to reduce interest rates by 25 basis points to a target range of 4.25%-4.50%. Yet, the market&#8217;s reaction is likely to hinge on the updated economic projections and Powell&#8217;s commentary on future policy direction.</p>
<p>The semiconductor sector rebounded strongly, with the <strong>iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) climbing 0.9% after a 1.6% dip on Tuesday. <strong>Nvidia Corp. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) surged 3.6%, on track to mark its best single-day gain in a month and to snap a four-day losing streak. The jump followed Nvidia&#8217;s announcement of a new $249 Jetson computer for AI applications, significantly cheaper than its predecessor priced at $499.</p>
<p>In currency markets, the U.S. dollar edged 0.2% higher, with the DXY index breaking above 107, its highest level in three weeks. Treasury yields were steady, with the 10-year yield holding at 4.40% as traders awaited the Fed&#8217;s decision.</p>
<p>Commodities presented a mixed picture: gold slipped 0.4%, while WTI crude gained 1.2%, supported by a larger-than-expected drawdown in U.S. crude inventories.</p>
<p>The cryptocurrency market took a breather after recent strong gains, with <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down 1.8%, trading below the $105,000 mark.</p>

Stocks Inch Up Ahead Of Fed Decision, Nvidia Set To Snap Four Straight Losses, Bitcoin Slips: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

<p>As markets brace for the Federal Reserve's final policy meeting of the year, scheduled at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, Goldman Sachs highlighted 20 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have historically shown outsized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">moves around Fed decision days</a>.</p>
<p>While a 25-basis-point rate cut to a target range of 4.25%-4.50% is widely anticipated, the market's focus is on the Fed's forward guidance, particularly the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and the updated &#8220;dot plot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following December's expected cut, Goldman Sachs projects a more measured pace of easing next year, forecasting rate cuts in March, June, and September, with the terminal rate seen at 3.50%-3.75%.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Dynamics Around Fed Days</h3>
<p>U.S. equity markets have displayed strong short-term gains during Fed meeting weeks in 2024. </p>
<p>Investors employing a simple strategy of buying the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> <strong>index</strong> at market close before a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announcement and selling at close the following day have captured median returns of 1.1% across the past seven meetings.</p>
<p>Yet those extending the trade horizon to 15 sessions post-Fed meeting have enjoyed significantly larger average gains of 3.29%, more than double the short-term returns. Notably, every Fed meeting this year has resulted in positive 15-day returns.</p>
<p>"We observe that U.S. banking ETFs, such as <strong>SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBE#NYSE">KBE</a>) and <strong>SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), have seen unusually large moves on FOMC days since 2022" Goldman analysts wrote in a recent note.</p>
<p>For bond-focused investors, the report highlights consistent post-meeting gains in high-yield and investment-grade ETFs like <strong>iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYG#NYSE">HYG</a>) and <strong>iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LQD#NYSE">LQD</a>).</p>
<p>Meanwhile, energy-focused ETFs, such as the <strong>United States Oil Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), have seen negative reactions. </p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 18, 2024

<p>The stock market edged lower by midday Tuesday as investors treaded cautiously ahead of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s policy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">decision scheduled for Wednesday.</a></p>
<p>Although a rate cut appeared widely priced in—with Fed Funds futures assigning a 96% probability—investors are fully focused on the Fed's forward guidance and Chair <strong>Jerome Powell</strong>&#8216;s remarks, particularly in light of recent robust economic data.</p>
<p>November's retail sales data showed an unexpected rebound, rising 0.7% month-over-month, surpassing expectations of 0.5%. On an annual basis, sales climbed 3.8%, the fastest pace since December 2023, driven by strong auto sales growth.</p>
<p>Semiconductor stocks led the downturn amid renewed geopolitical tensions following reports that China is broadening antitrust scrutiny on U.S. chipmakers&#8217; acquisitions in recent years. Last week, Beijing launched an investigation into <strong>Nvidia Corp.'s </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a><strong>)</strong> 2019 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.</p>
<p>The <strong>iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) declined 1.5%, weighed down by sharp losses in major chip stocks. <strong>Broadcom Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) dropped over 5%, while <strong>Marvell Technology Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) plunged over 8%.</p>
<p>By midday, the major U.S. indices were in negative territory. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.4%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6%, and the Nasdaq 100 declined 0.4%.</p>
<p>Both the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields remained steady, reflecting cautious positioning by institutional investors.</p>
<p>In commodities, gold dipped 0.3%, while natural gas and oil prices fell 2% and 1%, respectively, signaling continued weakness in the energy sector.</p>
<p>Cryptocurrencies continued to outperform. <strong>Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)</strong> climbed 1.3% to surpass $107,000, reaching a market capitalization of $2.13 trillion. The total cryptocurrency market value rose to $3.68 trillion, a new record high. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Financial Stocks Soared In 2024</h3>
<p>The 2024 rally in financial stocks has been driven by a potent cocktail of strong economic growth, declining interest rates, and deregulation optimism.</p>
<p>The U.S. economy demonstrated remarkable resilience, with economic growth accelerating from 1.6% in the first quarter to 3% in the second quarter, and maintaining a solid 2.8% in the third quarter. </p>
<p>Survey data for December further underscored this momentum, showing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42511277/us-services-sector-booms-at-fastest-pace-since-october-2021-business-activity-leaps-to-over-two-year-highs">private-sector activity expanding at its fastest pace since April 2022</a>, with particularly strong growth in the services sector—the backbone of the financial economy.</p>
<p>Bank of America&#8217;s global economics team recently summarized the sentiment, stating, &#8220;Pro-growth policies like deregulation of financial services and energy, as well as lower taxes, are boosting market sentiment and asset prices.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the most critical tailwinds was the de-inversion of the U.S. yield curve. The Federal Reserve's decision to ease interest rates, coupled with steady economic growth and resilient inflation, flipped the gap between short- and long-term Treasury yields. This dynamic allowed banks to borrow cheaply via short-term funding and lend at higher, long-term rates—improving net interest margins and boosting profitability.</p>
<p>Mortgage rates, for example, remain high because they are linked to longer-dated Treasury yields, even as interest rates have declined. </p>
<p>"Economic growth data has been coming in generally better than expected lately, which has helped push Treasury yields higher, while at the same time pricing out the need for an aggressive rate-cutting campaign by the Fed," LPL Financial said in a recent note.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next for Financial Stocks In 2025?</h3>
<p>Heading into 2025, Wall Street sees more tailwinds for the financial sector, particularly from deregulation. "We expect a broad deregulatory push benefiting energy and financial services," Bank of America said. The firm also noted that deregulation in the banking system could ease credit constraints while stabilizing the financial system, especially given the rapid rise of private lending, which remains largely unregulated.</p>
<p>According to Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden, large-cap banks remain optimistic about the economy. "Healthy consumer spending trends and strong corporate balance sheets have supported a constructive outlook," Ramsden said in a recent note.</p>
<p>However, regional banks remain cautious about loan growth, with many pointing to a potential rebound in early-to-mid 2025. While client sentiment has improved post-election, this optimism hasn't yet translated into higher lending activity.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 17, 2024

<p>Tech stocks extended their rally to new heights on Monday, with the Nasdaq 100 index climbing over 1% to surpass 22,000 points, fueled by robust gains among key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">components in the index.</a></p>
<p><strong>Broadcom Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) led the charge, soaring over 8% after receiving bullish price-target updates from analysts. The company's AI-driven growth potential gained further traction on Friday following its announcement of a collaboration with <strong>Apple Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to produce a cutting-edge AI chip.</p>
<p><strong>Tesla Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) also rallied, jumping more than 5%, pushing its post-election gains to 85%, buoyed by positive analyst sentiment. Wedbush Securities described Tesla as a &#8220;game-changer&#8221; in AI and autonomous advancements under Trump's administration, adding to the bullish outlook.</p>
<p>Among other indices, the Russell 2000 rose 1%, while the S&amp;P 500 edged up 0.4%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, dipped 0.2%, weighed down by losses in the energy and healthcare sectors.</p>
<p>On the economic front, private-sector surveys showed a stronger-than-expected rebound in December activity. The services sector Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) surged to 58.5, the highest reading since October 2021. Meanwhile, the Composite PMI climbed to 56.6, its best level since April 2022, as robust growth in services offset continued weakness in manufacturing.</p>
<p>Crypto-related assets gained fresh bullish momentum, driven by speculation about the U.S. government creating a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve fund. Meanwhile, <strong>MicroStrategy Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) will be added to the Nasdaq 100 Index on Dec. 23, further boosting sentiment.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reached $107,000, marking a year-to-date gain of 153%. MicroStrategy shares rose 5.8%, while other crypto-linked stocks, such as <strong>MARA Digital Holdings Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), <strong>Riot Platforms Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), and <strong>Coinbase Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), surged 11.1%, 9.2%, and 4.5%, respectively.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 12, 2024

<p>The U.S. stock market lacked direction on Tuesday morning as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s release of November inflation data, a critical report that could influence the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision on a potential interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">rate cut next week.</a></p>
<p>Large-cap indices hovered near unchanged levels, while small caps slightly outperformed, with the Russell 2000 up 0.3%. </p>
<p>Notable strength was seen in discretionary and communication services, buoyed by impressive gains in <strong>Tesla Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and <strong>Alphabet Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).</p>
<p>Tesla shares surged 4.7%, bringing the electric vehicle maker within striking distance of its all-time high set in November 2021. Alphabet Inc. rallied 4.9% after the tech giant announced the launch of its Willow quantum chip, which boasts an impressive 105 qubits. </p>
<p>While some major tech names rallied, the broader tech sector faced headwinds, particularly semiconductors, which were weighed down by weaker-than-expected earnings, disappointing Chinese trade data and lingering concerns over U.S. trade restrictions and tariffs.</p>
<p>The broader <strong>iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) fell 2.1%, eyeing its worst day since mid November.  </p>
<p>The cryptocurrency market took a negative turn, with <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) falling 2.8% to trade below $95,000. This followed a 3.7% decline on Monday, signaling mounting pressure in the digital asset space. </p>
<p><strong>Ethereum</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) plummeted 3.7% after a 7.3% drop on Monday. </p>
<p>Commodities broadly gained. Gold prices rallied 1.3% as investors sought safe-haven assets, while crude oil gained 0.9%. </p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 9, 2024

<p>The <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> and the <strong>Nasdaq 100</strong> are set to log their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">third consecutive week of gains</a>. </p>
<p>The Nasdaq 100, in particular, is tracking its strongest weekly performance in a month, underscoring investor enthusiasm for tech stocks and the growing likelihood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">of lower interest rates.</a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is on course to finish the week in negative territory, highlighting a divergence in performance among major U.S. indices.</p>
<p>Shares of <strong>Meta Platforms Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) surged 3% on Wednesday, extending their weekly gain to over 9%, marking the stock's best week since late January. The rally followed a U.S. appeals court decision upholding the Jan. 19 deadline for TikTok's parent company, <strong>ByteDance</strong>, to divest the app over national security and data privacy concerns. TikTok's appeal was rejected, leaving the U.S. Supreme Court as its final recourse.</p>
<p>The consumer discretionary sector emerged as Friday's best performer, fueled by further gains in <strong>Amazon.com Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and <strong>Tesla Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a><strong>)</strong>.</p>
<p>In macro news, November nonfarm payrolls rose by 227,000, beating consensus estimates, while the unemployment rate edged higher to 4.2%, as expected. Wage growth slightly outpaced forecasts, signaling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42363278/us-economy-adds-227000-jobs-in-november-wage-growth-accelerates">resilience in the labor market.</a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, the University of Michigan&#8217;s consumer sentiment index climbed to its most optimistic level since April but hinted at growing concerns about near-term inflation, reflecting a mixed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/12/42366245/consumer-sentiment-hits-7-month-high-but-inflation-fears-divide-democrats-republicans">sentiment among U.S. consumers.</a></p>
<p>The U.S. dollar gained traction, with the dollar index rising 0.3% despite market participants raised expectations of an interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve's Dec. 18 meeting. Treasury yields eased, reflecting bolstered expectations of policy easing.</p>
<p>Chicago Fed President <strong>Austan Goolsbee</strong> hinted at upcoming Federal Reserve meetings being "close calls" between cutting rates or holding steady, keeping traders on edge.</p>
<p>Commodities saw muted moves on Friday. Gold prices were flat, consolidating near recent levels, while crude oil slid 1.2%. </p>
<p>The cryptocurrency market lit up on Friday, driven by significant gains in major digital assets. <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), for example, surged over 4%, breaching the $101,500 level at last check Friday. </p>
<p><strong>Ethereum </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) rallied 6%, reflecting robust investor appetite across the sector.</p>

US Stocks Hold Steady, Travel Demand Fuels Airlines, Tesla Reaches 32-Month Highs: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

<p>Shares of <strong>Amazon.com Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) surged 2.3% to new all-time highs on Wednesday, lifting its impressive year-<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">to-date gains to 44%</a>.</p>
<p>Robust early holiday sales data and optimism surrounding growth signals from AWS&#8217;s annual conference in Las Vegas fueled bullish investor sentiment.</p>
<p>The e-commerce giant has now rallied by 160% since the start of 2023, and is on track for its strongest two-year performance since the 2009-2010 period.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Record Cyber Sales Fuel Amazon&#8217;s Stock Momentum</h3>
<p>Amazon revealed that the 12-day shopping period ending Cyber Monday delivered &#8220;record sales and items sold,&#8221; with over 60% of transactions coming from third-party (3P) sellers, according to Bank of America analyst <strong>Justin Post</strong>. </p>
<p>To put that into perspective, Amazon saw 1 billion items sold with a 50% 3P share during the same period last year.</p>
<p>Top categories included electronics, where Echo Dots and Fire TV Sticks stole the show, as well as toys and beauty products. </p>
<p>Discounting trends mirrored last year's levels, but Amazon claimed that customers saved &#8220;billions&#8221; this holiday season. </p>
<p>Notably, deals have been extended through Christmas Eve, signaling robust consumer engagement with ongoing promotions.</p>
<p>Data from Profitero showed Amazon's prices were, on average, 14% lower than competitors and 5% lower than <strong>Walmart</strong> <strong>Inc. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) — a pricing edge likely to have attracted bargain hunters and boosted market share.</p>
<p>&#8220;Discounting is always a risk to 4Q margins, but we think higher 3P mix, delivery speed efficiencies, cost savings from package consolidation, and headcount efficiencies should support margins,&#8221; Bank of America wrote in a report. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AWS Re:Invent 2024: AI Steals the Spotlight</h3>
<p>Amazon's cloud division, AWS, took center stage this week during its 13th annual re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, attended by a staggering 60,000 people. The event featured announcements that solidify Amazon's AI ambitions and aim to narrow its gap with cloud rivals like Microsoft and Google.</p>
<p>Key highlights include the launch of Trainium2, Amazon's proprietary AI chip, and new foundational models (FMs) under the Nova suite, including Canvass for image generation and Reel for video generation. </p>
<p>Amazon is also preparing to release a speech-to-speech model in the first quarter of 2025 and an innovative multimodal GenAI model in the second quarter, which will enable any-to-any input/output functionalities.</p>
<p>&#8220;We thought tone was upbeat, with broader &amp; deeper product announcements vs. prior years and, while AWS still emphasizes customer choice, we noted a bigger focus on proprietary chips &amp; foundational models,&#8221; Post wrote. </p>
<p>According to Amazon, Nova is 75% more cost-effective than competing foundational models and has already been integrated into its Bedrock platform. The company claimed Nova's performance rivals or surpasses competitors in most benchmarks.</p>
<p>JPMorgan analyst <strong>Doug Anmuth</strong> sees Amazon making significant strides in the GenAI race, narrowing the gap with rivals.</p>
<p>&#8220;We come away more confident that AMZN is improving its GenAI positioning and tightening the GenAI gap through silicon development (Trainium2), Bedrock (model distillation), partnerships (Anthropic), breadth of LLMs, and significant customer data already shifted into the AWS cloud," Anmuth said.</p>
<p>According to Anmuth, AWS's AI efforts are beginning to bear fruit, particularly in engineering and coding productivity tools. He anticipates that AI-driven applications and AI agents will become larger growth contributors starting in 2025 and 2026.</p>
<p>AWS contributes roughly 70% of Amazon's operating profits. Any uptick in AI adoption could drive a meaningful acceleration in AWS growth by the end of 2024 and beyond.</p>
